RAIPUR: Attacking the BJP government over allocation of iron ore blocks to Pushp Steel, Chhattisgarh state unit Congress general secretary Bhupesh Baghel has sought resignation of Chief Minister Raman Singh pointing that his government allegedly favoured the company.

Former deputy leader of the opposition, Baghel had written a letter to the CBI seeking a probe into coal and iron ore blocks allocation to Pushp Steel in the state.

"The Delhi High Court's order dated April 5, 2013, has clearly proved that the state government had granted prospecting licence and a mining lease to the undeserving Pushp Steel and Mines Steel Ltd," veteran Congressman Baghel told reporters here today.
